Almost A Week in Prague - Part 4

Day 4!! Please check out Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3 of the series if you haven't yet.

This day was the day we checked out of the hotel in the boonies and moved to Ibis Praha Wencelas Square.  We took the tram from one hotel to the other. Located right next to the Novotel Praha Wencelas Square, it is about 5 minutes walk from the National Museum. Mind you, the walk to the museum is downhill so it takes so much more energy to walk back. :D

For lunch we stopped at a pub called Plzeňská restaurace U Gráffů. We ordered Garlic Soup, Pork Tray, and Beer Cheese. Food was just okay. The Beer Cheese was veeeery stinky! The smell reminded me of rotten anchovies.

Since DH had been mostly working since we arrived, we walked around the Wencelas Square and I finally have some pictures with ME in it! ;)

I mentioned before that we had bought tickets to the Don Quixote Ballet at the State Opera Building. Since most people didn't dress up too fancy at the Magic Flute, we decided to dress more casual for the Ballet. Well, it turned out that the State Opera building is a nicer, bigger building and people who went to see the ballet dressed up fancier. Oh well.....

The State Opera building was quite amazing. The lobby was impressive and the inside was even more so.




Cheers!

Nintendo Switch Sleeve Tutorial

Hi! I'm Kirana from woofkiki.blogspot.co.id . I am going to write an introduction for this blog post. We bought a Nintendo Switch in Japan.  I really liked it and played with it almost everyday. If you're wondering what a Nintendo Switch is, it is a video game where you can basically  "switch" everything. The joy-cons and even the game! You can also connect it to your TV. It would be nice to bring it around with you, but when you put it in your bag... Oh no! The screen scratched! So, this is a sleeve that will fix that. Let's get started!😊 Kirana Now the tutorial (by Kirana's mom)... 1. Make your pattern according to the picture below. It is basically a 6"x24" rectangle with a semi circle at one end. Note: this is not a printable pattern 1. Cut your outer fabric, lining, and batting(optional). In this tutorial, I used minky for lining and a pre-quilted fabric for the cover, so I didn't need extra batting. For batting, I recomm...

  If you talk to anyone about Medan, the number one thing that comes up is definitely the food. The distinguished Chinese-Medanese cuisine is known to Indonesians as exceptionally delicious. Just as famous is the Batak cuisine with its pork dishes and others. Now that we've been to Medan, these are our recommendations! Macehat Coffee Macehat is famous for their Avocado Coffee drink, but they also offer snacks and coffee beans. I've heard so many rave reviews for this coffee shop, but my final verdict is: it's ok, just so so.

Nasi Tumpeng - Yellow Rice Mountain Recipe

Below are some pictures of full blown Nasi Tumpeng platters. From satelitnews.co From bundatwinskitchen.files.wordpress.com From indochili.com Impressed yet? Well, the fore-mentioned friend offered me to come over to her place and learn how to make it so of course I gladly went! I am well aware of my cooking capability (and patience) so we made a much simpler (and smaller) version of it.  For the rice you need: 2 cups uncooked rice 1 cup coconut milk (you can put more or less depending on your preference) 1 stem lemongrass 2 bay leaves (dried or fresh) 2 lime leaves (dried or fresh) some turmeric (powder or fresh) water Here's the how to: ...
